Leafs welcome Jets for first time in 15 years‏


 
 


 Tonight in another all Canadian match-up in the NHL the 
4th in 5 games for the Buds. The Toronto Maple Leafs play host
to the Winnipeg Jets for the first time since March 13th 1996. 
A game that was so long ago it ended in a 3-3 tie in pre shootout 
days. Tonight the Leafs look to continue their quick start to the 
season. Already at a 3-0-1 mark earning points in all 4 games.
The Jets on the other hand are at the opposite end of the spectrum
going 1-3 in there first 4 games. Finally winning for their first time 
since returning to Winnipeg with a 2-1 victory versus the Penguins. 
With the Buds playing 4 games in the next 6 nights look to see 
Gustavsson between the pipes at least once in that span. Maybe 
even tonight. If not most likely tomorrow when the Leafs take on 
the defending Stanley Cup Champions The Boston Bruins. Gustavsson 
not knowing when he will be playing had this to say "You just have 
to practice hard and do well in practice to get some confidence to 
go out there and play in a game," The last time he saw action was 
against Detroit in preseason on September 30th in a 4-3 win. 
Tonight I am sure we will see quite a few Jets fans at the ACC 
and that's great, cause getting a NHL franchise back in Canada 
is amazing and hopefully we get some more. So catch the game tonight 
on TSN at 7:30pm and join me and the crew after the game at:
